The hat is adorable. But I've done about six rounds of the hat, but looking ahead, can't figure out your instructions for the stem. Is something missing, or am I missing something? Would appreciate any help. Kayalandkay@bellsouth.net

My problem with the pattern was indeed my own oversight: watching TV and not focusing, I didn't do the second and third rows of green, so of course it didn't look like the photo. I have finished this impossibly cute little hat, and -- for those contemplating making it -- it is a fantastic pattern. Many thanks, again, Suzie for sharing your creativity.

I live in Skagit Valley and Mount Vernon has a Tulip Festival every year...this is PERFECT! I made my daughter one in blue and now I'm thinking I need to start making more! It is very quick and easy, I had it finished in a night!

I made this hat for my 3 year-old daughter. After measuring my daughter's head (16 inches) and reading your comment that the larger size would fit up to 8 years, I decided to make the smaller hat. My gage must have been off because the hat turned out tiny! It fits one of her bigger baby dolls, but I think even a newborn would grow out of it quickly. It's adorable, though, and I'm going to try again using the larger size. I might start with a bigger hook, too.

Okay, I tried again. This time I started with my I hook and made my way to the K and I followed the instructions for the bigger size. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I don't usually have gage problems. This one was better, but it's tight, like a beanie, so the "petals" don't flair out. Unfortunately, I made it in purple yarn, add that with the fact that it's so tight, and my husband says it looks like an eggplant! I'm so disappointed because yours is so cute.

Look at the green part that is at 5 o'clock, you can barely see the opening and that there are only three rounds. When you work the stem it pulls them together making it look like more than three. Just keep going and you will be surprised how well it turns out.

Hello! I've made tons of these hats for family, friends and charities. I would like to ask your permission to sell these hats for a fundraiser. I'm doing the Susan G. Komen 3-day breast cancer walk this year and I've been asked to make this hat to sell at our stand at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. All profits will go to our team for the walk.

Hi, stupid question here. Is this worked with a double strand, and about how much yarn did you use? I'm going to attempt to make an adult size with H, I, and J or possibly I, J and K hooks using SugarnCreme yarn.

Thanks for sharing this awesome pattern.My question is if you know how to calculate the number of stitches in the chain for larger hats? I'm not sure what size yet but sometimes the number needs to be divisable by a certain number or whatnot. Thanks again and thanks if you (or anyone else) can help :)

I think this is so cute. I make hats and donate them to the Arkansa Childrens Hospital. I would like to make sure it is ok to make these hats to donate. I think they will be a big hit with the children.

So cute. I need to make the hat for a 22- 23" head. Would using I-J-K hooks accomplish that? Also, I did not see the matching bag in your patterns. (Of course, I could just be having a blonde moment and missed it.) How is it made? Barb

I love this hat!! You are one very talented lady. I need to make this for a larger 23" head, and the one I just finished using I, J and K hooks is too snug. If I use a J on the first 2 parts and a K to finish up do you think that will work? Or will the hat not look the same without the three hook changes? Any other thoughts? Barb

In each round, do we chain one first? I am having a problem where my 3 SC are not landing in the middle of the previous 3 SC so my rows are not lining up like yours. My 3 SC are starting on the first stitch of the previous 3 SC (I hope that makes sense!) I have a finished hat that is wrong if you'd like a picture for better understanding. Thanks!! =)

Hi Suzette, I finished the cocoon and it worked up nice. However, I am having problems closing up the top of hat. I have never started a hat from botton to top and am not sure what I am suppose to be doing. I guess it is the green portion in your photo. The decreasing is what I am not getting right peaks and dips???
